Duncan.... secure it to the chassis any way you can there are no moving
parts. You are putting too much thought into it :) I've used double
sided velcro, screws, gravity.... :)
Yes, SSDs are the bees knees nobody was lying about that :+)

Tim,
That link leads me to believe that the M2x3 is the proper screw. A
trip to Ace hdw
in the am will help confirm this. TNX.
Best,

Tim,
Thanks. I'll dig some more. I don't install floppies anymore; and, my
opticals use screws that have a much smaller diameter.

I just purchased one for my computer and I think it used Floppy type
screws or screws that go in the Optical Drives. They did not look
like
6-32 Hard Drive Screws. Sorry I do not know the measurement for the
screws.
BTW, I got a 2.5" to 3.5" mount bracket for it for like $4.99 at the
store I bought it from.
I have a screen shot of the speed test of both the new SSD and the
old
10k rpm HD I had.

Can any Samsung 840PRO SSD user please confirm that the threaded
mounting points are truly #6-32 as mentioned in the docs that come
with the Samsung SSD.
The #6-32 screws I've used in the past for my EMC hard drives (WD,
Hitachi, Seagate, etc.) do not match the threads on the SSD at all.
There is no purchase at all.
Yes, I am leaning toward duct tape for future mounting of these
SSDs..................... :) Thanks, Duncan
